General description

The addition of hydrazine hydrate to reduced graphene oxide (RGO) counter electrode improves its performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC).

Application

Hydrazine hydrate has been used for the deproteination of the enamel samples in a study. It may be used as a reducing agent in the following:
  • Preparation of silver nanoparticles.
  • Transformation of monosubstituted nitrobenzene derivatives to the corresponding anilines.
  • Along with graphite for the conversion of nitro compounds (aromatic and aliphatic) to the amino compounds.
Hydrazine hydrate may be used to prepare:
  • 3-(2-Benzyloxy-6-hydroxyphenyl)-5-styrylpyrazoles by reacting with 5-benzyloxy-2-styrylchromones.
  • 3,5-Diphenyl-2-pyrazoline derivatives by reacting with 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one.
  • 3′-Aryl-1,2,3,4,4′,5′-hexahydrospiro[quinoxalin-2,5′-pyrazol]-3-ones by reacting with 3-arylacylidene-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones.
  • It may also be used in the catalytic reduction of nitroarenes to aromatic amines.

    If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.

  2. How do I get lot-specific information or a Certificate of Analysis?

    The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

  3. How do I find price and availability?

    There are several ways to find pricing and availability for our products. Once you log onto our website, you will find the price and availability displayed on the product detail page. You can contact any of our Customer Sales and Service offices to receive a quote.  USA customers:  1-800-325-3010 or view local office numbers.

  4. What is the Department of Transportation shipping information for this product?

    Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product. 

  5. What is the difference between Hydrazine hydrate product numbers 225819, 215155 and 207942?

    Prod. No. 215155 is anhydrous hydrazine. There is no water associated with this product. It has a molecular (formula) weight of 32.05. Prod. No. 207942 is hydrazine monohydrate. There is one mole of water for every mole of hydrazine. It has a molecular (formula) weight of 50.06. Prod. No. 225819 is hydrazine hydrate. The hydrazine content by weight from batch to batch may vary between 50 to 60%. Because the amount of water present (the other 40 to 50%) will also vary from batch to batch, it does not have a defined molecular (formula) weight. If a batch was found to contain 54 wt% hydrazine, then that batch would have 1.5 moles of water for every mole of hydrazine.

  6. Is Product 225819, Hydrazine hydrate, a liquid or a solid?

    The package sizes for this product are in a mass unit (gram) rather than a volume unit (mL). However, this product is a liquid and not a solid. It has a reported density of 1.029 g/mL at 25°C.
